This case is a perfect example of how to wind people up (someone has called it “Murder as a Spectator Sport”) to distract us from economic policies & practices that cause the death of children every day (35,000 a day, I believe).

Instead of being “outraged” by the results of a jury trial, we should thank the jurors for fulfilling their constitutional responsibilities. Let’s save our outrage for the GOP & their media friends (notably Rupert Murdoch – read the Guardian UK to find about how his phone hackers screwed up police investigations of at least one child’s murder, and possibly several more).
